It's so sad the Phillies didn't bring up Cole Irvin to make his MLB debut in 2018. He went 14-4 with a league-leading 2.57 e.r.a. and was widely considered the best control pitcher in the (AAA) International league.

Pitchers Enyel De Los Santos and Ranger Suarez (both age 22) both earned victories in their major league debuts in July. Both were called up to make one/off spot starts before being returned to the minors. RHP De Los Santos debuted and got the win in his July 10 debut. He also earned a second start on July 15 (No Decision) before being returned to the minors. LHP, Suarez won his July 26 MLB debut also.

"No matter how great you were once upon a time — the years go by, and men forget,” - W. A. Phelon in Baseball Magazine in 1915. “Ross Barnes, forty years ago, was as great as Cobb or Wagner ever dared to be. Had scores been kept then as now, he would have seemed incomparably marvelous.”

Carlos Santana's MLB Debjut was on June 11, 2010. He might seem like he's been around longer than that because rarely misses games. For the seven seasons From 2011 to 2017 Santana played in 1,068 games ....an average of nearly 153 games per season.
